| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It was confirmed that the fact that the information gathering activities conducted by the investigative agency could extend to administrative police activities is common to both Japan and Germany. The basis for this consists of gathering and storage of information. Of these, in Japan, the emphasis is placed only on regulations concerning information gathering, and there are no legal regulations regarding storage. On the other hand, in Germany, legal regulations concerning the storage of information are in place, and active discussions are taking place. In this research, we conducted a comparative study focusing on the storage of DNA-databases and the preliminary storage of information concerning the telecommunication, and found that while the legal system in Germany is helpful for Japan, the problems were pointed out there as well.
